Murda started to take rap seriously in 2006 and was heavy in the underground circuit of New York City. He was linking up DJ Green Lantern and DJ Cut Master C for mixtapes but it wasn’t until he released his hit single “Bullet Bullet” that he finally gained mainstream attention, followed by another single “Run The City”. Uncle Murda has been known to be “Too hard for hip hop” because of his Hardcore lyrics about his lifestyle as a gangster living in the ghetto. He has his own rap crew named GMG which is an abbreviation for “Getting Money Gangstas”
